BW: Boise Needs Bigot-Be-Gone

Last Wednesday, in the basement at Red Feather Lounge in downtown Boise, one of the most well-known anti-Semitic neo-Nazis alive today held a book signing. News editor Nathaniel Hoffman and I crashed the party and were escorted out, but before I left, I videotaped everyone in the room. The dozen people who paid money to hear David Irving (pictured) speak looked just like the kind of people you'd expect to see sitting at the table next to you on the restaurant's patio. Or the kind of people sitting next to you in church. Hoffman had the only shaved head in the room. No swastika bearing T-shirts. Young, old and in between, they were Holocaust deniers and white supremacists who looked just like every other white person in Boise/Rachael Daigel, Boise Weekly. More here.
